What’s next around Culture, Equity & Leadership?
As leaders, we shape culture all around us – at work, at home, and in community. Leadership Austin has made equity a central value in our work. We are actively developing a new strategic plan in 2024 and examining the interplay of culture, equity, and courageous leadership and how we join forces to collectively address racial inequities and other disparities facing Central Texas.
